The residential town along the Bay Naples in 79 A.D. when the devastating fury of the volcano Vesuvius buried the whole area at the foot of it. Herculaneum was buried by a torrential lava of mud mixed to volcanic materials. Smaller than Pompeii, but not less interesting. Here in fact you can see not only the same kind of buildings of Pompeii but better preserved artistic elements (mosaics, frescoes, and original timber of the roofs).

The drive starts with the most impressive view over the Bay of Salerno, the winding road is full of delightful corners for photo stops and charming outlook over the most splendid emerald coloured sea. After some kilometres of drive between sky and sea the approach of Positano is just glorious. You will Just feel like to approach a corner of Paradise.(John Steinbeck)

The land of the Sirens as the Greek founders called it. The historical centre shows its original greek plan with streets crossing at right angles. Here you can walk through very picturesque lanes to flavour the very intimate aspect of the town which is the ideal for a drink in the open air or a good shopping time of local products : inlaid wood work, clothes and leather goods.
